Drive Through

January 28, 2010

It’s been a while since I posted and there have been many developments.  The area is one big mess, but if you look at the big picture, it’s getting there… I can’t wait for all the mud to go and the noise of the heavy trucks and builders.

Instead of taking lots of photos, I took a short drive around block 1 (and a tiny bit of 2) and speeded up the boring bits.  I will repeat this when there is a visible difference to the area I filmed.

Less than a year from now, this will be a memory and we will have a town that looks as boring as any other town in Kuwait :) I can’t wait.

In case you’re wondering, the background music is Les Hooper’s ‘Muddy Road’.

Digging Big & Small

December 1, 2009

Sorry I’ve not posted for a while…

Since the works began, there has been a lot of digging.  It seems the smaller pipes are going in – I’m assuming these are the rainwater drains – in all the small roads.  They dig, install and bury everything all in a couple of weeks.  The main roads seem to take longer and the look more complicated.  If anyone knows more, please add your comments below.

Worse Before Better

August 18, 2009

It’s a very messy time for Mangaf.  Loud diggers, dusty trucks and lots and lots of excavation.  The clearing up continues and digging has started on the main routes for all the pipes.  While I was away for the summer, I lost my beloved trees in front of our house… I wish they put the effort to work around them instead of taking them out… but I understand.

Regular reader Abdulrahman emailed me today to say things are about to start in front of his house.  It will get much messier before it startss to take shape.

Good luck everyone and be careful of the deep excavation and heavy vehicles.
